This comic almost has an xkcd flavour to it.
Looks like a new scientist (british version of scientific american) comic.
I think this is my new favourite tech-related comic strip
This is the first one I’ve seen and it’s amazing.
XKCD has some really good ones; I think this one is my favourite though
They should call an exorcist and then maybe hire him to do covert diversion operations
Probably a problem with the battery.
It’s always the power supply.
Are you trying to tell us that this here is the first tech-related comic you have ever seen in your entire life?
Lol, no. I meant from this artist.
Haha, I see

My new favorite is this:
That seems like an inherently false statement. If it was sarcastic, it would be false because it actually is going great. If it’s not sarcastic, than the project is not actually going great.
The project could not be going great but also the AI is just incorrect about the status of the project rather than being sarcastic
My interpretation is that the project status is actually going great, and that was an honest statement, but then calling the scientist a genius was sarcasm, not because of project issues, but just an unrelated assessment.
This is a pradox though. If the scientist succeeded then the machine isn’t really using sarcasm and if they haven’t then it’s lying.
This comic really only needs the first two panels. The third panel though suggests that the scientists themselves don’t know what sarcasm is. Which would make it difficult for them to design something to use it.
It only needed the first two panels. In the US, it needed the first two panels and an /s
No, sarcasm is really hard to do, I’m sure only humans can possibly understand the nuances of language like that.
This reminds me of that time I accidentally roasted my college instructor in front of the class.
It was some kind of logic class for computer science. We were going thru a topic of “statement”, which is “something that has a truth value”.
I asked, “what about sarcasm?”
He answered, “sarcasm also has truth value in it, so it’s also a statement”.
Then he told me to give an example, to which I instictively gave without much thought: “this class is great!”
Had the whole class laughing while he frowned.
It was the very first day of him teaching.
The Simpsons did it first.
Not quite the same.
